Just don't play Stairway to Heaven

Actually, what Josh said was 'OK, let's start with Jingle Bells'

Happy Halloween!

Max "helps" with sorting the candy

Too much candy can make you crazy

Ready for trick or treating

Someone like his costume

Even though Josh was not feeling well he managed to put on a brave (if a little pale) face.

Watching Planes at the Airport

Josh's Birthday treat to see the Backyardigans

Waiting fot the backyardigans to arrive.

A scary moment as the Backyardigans are trapped in an undersea cage!

But it's okay in the end and the gang breakout a celebratory disco routine.

Apple picking at Thanksgiving

Josh practised jumping over the mud puddles until he had it down.

Cheese!

Lots of milestones

Josh's first day of nursery school. The biggest 2 year old on the block!

Happy Birthday, Sadie!

Josh's birthday gang. Thanks for coming, Sadie and Oliver!

A chocolate cake, just as requested. Wonder if anyone felt the effects of the coffee in the cake?

It was a Backyardigans-themed party so Pablo and Uniqua were also there. Max too.

The traditional McDonalds birthday breakfast.

More summer fun!

Protective gear is sometimes required for dishes.

Hiking at Pink Lake in Gatineau Park

And this hike is over....

There are just some days when you don't feel like getting out of your pjs (your christmas pjs)

A picnic at the beach with Oliver, Erin, and Simon.

Max's idea of a good time at the beach.

The changing of the guard left quite an impression on Josh. We have been playing marching band - a lot!

Max also gets into the action.

Touch a truck day!

Even touch a fire truck day!

Remembering the summer! More trip photos to come....

At long last, an update from the Whitmores. Here is a collection of summer photos to enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!

Father's Day takes it's toll...

Another good eater!

Happy Canada Day! For some reason, Josh wouldn't go on the horses so instead they enjoyed the thrills and spills of the stationary car.

Canada Day fun in the pool with Grandma and Sue.

There's nothing like a 'special drink' in the pool.

Canada Day was also Josh's 1st metric birthday - Happy first 1000 days!


Too cute.

Happy Canada Day from the Whitmores!

Max striking a pose.


Photo shoots aren't always that easy.


A week at Port Elgin with the family.


Daddy drove 7 hours to join us for the weekend.


There is some serious work going on here.

Alex and Josh were bubble warriors.
Port Elgin has the most beautiful sunsets.

Lisa reading some great jokes to Andrew, William, Josh the gymnast and Great Grandma.

All the boys at work with a little help from Christine.


Happy Birthday, Daddy!


Happy 90th Birthday, Great Grandma!!!!

Great Grandma has 7 great-grandchildren - all boys! Alex, Josh, Andrew, Ben, William, Jonny, and Max.



Max loves to wrestle with Uncle Tyson.

Josh enjoys the last swim of the summer. Now he takes swimming lessons without mommy or daddy in the pool.

Max also enjoys some good time in the pool
